American Time Use Research Conference and Workshop

Conference

Since the American Time Use Survey was launched in 2003, interest in time use research among American social science researchers has grown considerably. This conference will give the members of this growing community an opportunity to interact with one another and share what they are learning.

Workshop

Monday through Wednesday June 22-24, 2009 University of Maryland Campus

The ATUS-X Workshop will be held on the University of Maryland campus June 22-24, 2009. The workshop is designed primarily for researchers who are new to the analysis of time use data. The three days will include presentations from BLS staff members, the research team that developed the ATUS-X, and other experienced time use researchers; lab sessions that will provide hands-on experience with using the ATUS-X; and small-group sessions at which participants will have the chance to discuss their own time use research ideas with others who have similar interests. Workshop participants also will have the opportunity to attend the American Time Use Research Conference that will take place immediately following the workshop, on June 25-26, 2009.
